Skid reinforcements are doing there job and holding up well after 2 years.

I would like to blame the auto-darkening visor, but I just couldn't draw a straight bead to save my life. On my last stretch I smartened up a lil, and ran extra long tacks every 3 inches just so I had a visual map. There are actually two skid plates. The one that got "replaced" goes from bumper...

Spent a few hours working on my new skids this past weekend. My welding skills are a bit rusty...but I think it will hold. Ramped up the collars I added.

One ORV park let us shoot rifles, so we plinked across a pond at paper targets and then at a small container of tannerite. The small caliber we used did not impact the tannerite hard enough for a big boom, but it still went boom.

There was a clown bike once too...

I suppose the OP also means other than wrenching on broken stuff too... Moonshine and kids bikes...

I do like how simple the mechanism and control are on the Harrop. Wiring was pretty easy and the loom they provide is top quality.

I haven't had a free weekend to play just yet. I am tempted to find an undeveloped neighborhood (there's one down the street from my office) and lock it up for fun.

Got in on a group buy for a Prinsu rack and installed it, but wasn't happy with how high it sat on the roof. Modified the spacers, added some tighter fitting washers to help with water intrusion and filled the gaps with FIPG. There was also a pretty big gap at the front air dam. So I...

Chasing down some clunks in the front end I discovered some failed top hats. Might be able to warranty, but these things have over 100K on them, so I just replaced the whole units. Time for maintenance on the control arms too. So new upper bushings, uniballs. And decided to replace the...

I'll spare you the hassle and frustration that is the clamshell design, but it does look purty all cleaned up and fitted with new innards. After test fitting the AP skids I decided I was going to beef them up a little more since I'm kind of hard on them. I re-appropriated some discarded 80...

I'm daily driving this thing once the above drivetrain work was completed. I had no reason to suspect the front diff was toast, until we made the trek from ATL to Hot Springs, AR for the Southern Cruiser Crawl and I attempt to drive in 4Lo. So we had a nice weekend camping and catching up with...

New factory CV assemblies and inner tie rods (Moog). Test fitting replacement skid plates from All-Pro. The old one was beaten up pretty badly over the last 10 years, so AP cut me a deal for a loyalty replacement.

After I got the trans, tcase and drive shafts back in, I took it to an exhaust shop to replace my sad muffler and cleanup the mess I made trying to unbolt the pipes from the manifolds during this tear down of the drive train. Some bolts just didn't want to budge and I ended up having to torch...

August rolls around and I'm on my way to meet some fellow Cruiser heads on the GA/SC state line for a long weekend of camping up in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I'm about 5 miles from the meeting point and had just hit a twisty gravel road that leads to the camp where they were waiting for me. I...

Had a series of unfortunate episodes in 2016 that kept the truck down: At Mardi Krawl last year, I inadvertently jumped my truck at speed doing a charity obstacle course and cracked a front diff support. Didn't realize it was cracked and wheeled all day long. At the end of the day I was flailing...

Guess my image on post one disapparated...reloading image here.

Gotta vote for my hometown gal (and friend) #tcrladycrawler

Ha-ha @woody, you were there for that driver-side scrape. OTMT last year.

My slightly modified FJ Cruiser. Here's the most recent picture I have of the rig alongside my buddy's FZJ80. 2007 FJC 06/2006 build date Icon stage 1 coilovers and shocks(rear), OME med springs in rear. Total Chaos UCAs on front Metal Tech LCAs on rear 80 Series alloy wheels 315/75/16 KM2s...
